Re: From Weatherford, Texas
Tool sharpening is pretty important, at first I liked to use gravers that where a little dull untill I got the hang of sharp tools, its like a knife thru butter with the sharp ones, so you have to have better hand control. Learning to turn the vice with the direction your cutting is important also, it makes lines a lot smoother. Spurs i found where a bit harder, since you arent engraving on a flat surface, I had to learn to do some bright cuts backwards because I couldnt get me graver in some tight spots. I would like to see your work.. maybe we could share some critiques. What equipment do you use?
